Rigor Mortis (2013) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
A tribute to the classic 80s vampire movie Mr. Vampire, singer-turned-director Juno Mak’s cult directorial debut Rigor Mortis, starring the original cast of Chin Siu Ho, Anthony Chan, Richard Ng, Billy Lau and Chung Fa as well as veteran actors Paw Hee Ching and Kara Hui, is one of the finest surprises in Chinese cinema in 2013. Produced by Japanese horror master Shimizu Takashi, the Category III thriller revives long-lost Hong Kong vampire folklore and renews the horror genre by combining hopping Chinese vampires and Japanese-style haunted ghosts into an inventive horror film based on the famous vampire hunters Chin Siu Ho and Anthony Chan played in the 80s. Nominated for three 2013 Golden Horse awards including Best New Director and Best Makeup & Costume Design, Rigor Mortis is praised for its stylish shooting, creative visual effects and intriguingly unearthly atmosphere rarely seen in Chinese cinema.
Rising to fame with his role as a vampire hunter in the movie Mr. Vampire in the 80s, action star Siu Ho (Chin Siu Ho) is now a down-and-out middle-aged man who lives alone in the haunted unit numbered 2442 in a public estate. With a broken family and a career that has gone downhill, Siu Ho tries to end his life in his own apartment but ends up having his body possessed by a pair of twin ghosts. Saved by exorcist Ah Yau (Anthony Chan), Siu Ho decides to help his ex-tenant Yeung Fung (Kara Hui) and her son after finding out about their family tragedy. Aunt Mui (Paw Hee Ching), a kindhearted old lady in the neighborhood, has a secret coffin hidden in her flat which foreshadows the beginning of a mysterious bloodshed.
